    SUN TZU’S ART OF WAR A WORK OF AGENCY

    (worth repeating)

    There is only one book in world literature that is an equal to the western canon, and that is the art of war – although the european works of Machiavelli, are more advanced, the universal applicability of the first of all does it best.

    It is an essay in the amoral (not immoral). We spend so much time in moral mind, we leave ourselves open to defeat. So,he retrains us to think objectively rather than morally. It is not a book about war. It is a book by which we restore agency, lost in the training of our norms.

    Machiavelli provides the same advice more directly in The Prince and his Art of War: morality has no place in war or its preparation.

    The norms ‘untrain us’ to succeed in war. Hece all men must be trained in both war of the amoral, and commerce and cooperation of the moral.

    (Said this sometime in the past few days and thought it needed repeating that these books are not on war. They are on restoring that which we are untrained in civil orders, and must be if we are to survive competitors.)

    MY VERSION OF THE SOCRATIC METHOD: COMPETITION

    I teach by creating games that men will compete in. This is how men are best taught. Instead of asking questions I start arguments. Instead of preaching an angle, I attack a proposition and force others to defend it. Instead of assuming equality I play king of the hill and bait them into attacking me. Instead of writing essays of appeal I write arguments to criticize.

    I am fairly certain, that when I pray for counsel, that network of relations I call god – my Patron – consists largely of Aristotle, with Alexander his superior, pushing him aside as required, and the host of my forefathers in the chorus echoing their approval or dissent. The gods of our software do their work. They live on in us. And through us continue to survive. And it is to them, I and my people, have a debt – and no other. And it is their perpetuation and mine I continue.

  • Will You Act?

    [E]uropeans built the only high trust labor, working, middle, and upper middle classes in the world. The american experiment was an attempt to give the high trust classes their own government without the church or state parasites of all of history. The left’s objective has been to hollow out that high trust middle class and produce another small upper class and vast governable underclass. And it’s been working. The only question is whether you will join with others to do something in order to change it, and reverse the conquest of the THIRD WAY.

    There is nothing in the search for liberty that doesn’t demand for self sufficiency — or maybe you missed that part of ‘meritocracy’. 😉

    The HERD is not conscious. The NPC meme is merely recognition of the HERD, and the END of the hope for any form of equanimity. Old right = hopeful. New Right = RESIGNED. https://twitter.com/BasedTorba/status/1057507652803137536
